Hi! I’m Erika and I am offering my services as an arts tutor. My undergraduate degree was in Fine Arts and my graduate in Education. I am certified to teach in multiple states, including New York. I have eight years of full time experience in education, with ages PreK-12. I have been an elementary art teacher for six years. I also independently ran art summer camps for students older than 5th grade. I have extensive experience with students with special needs, both through teaching and volunteering at a therapy program.
I help my students to realize their full creative potential by focusing on both technical art skills and conceptual exploration. I specialize in painting, drawing, and printmaking. However, I also have a strong background in photography and digital art (photoshop). Simple animation, ceramics, and sculpture (kiln free) is also part of my curriculum. I integrate art history into my lessons in order to bring an academic, historical, and cultural perspective into the art.
All of my lessons are highly individualized and tailored to my client’s needs, so if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to reach out. I can’t wait to meet new students!
